I don’t necessarily agree with what Pat McManamon is suggesting in his mock draft. I’ve been on record supporting any number of players from Matt Kalil and Trent Richardson to Morris Claiborne.

Cleveland Browns draft talk round-up
Yesterday when talking draft, a friend of mine made a pretty good simple statement with regards to Justin Blackmon. It doesn’t really matter what a guy is “worth” on the draft value chart. Either you want him or you don’t. The draft value scale is only there to tell you what you probably have to do to get him. It also speaks to Pat McManamon’s mock draft from yesterday...

That’s right Browns fans our Browns can't lose in the upcoming NFL draft. Even for a me, a fan who has never seen a trade down that I did not absolutely love.

Yes According To Neurosports Cleveland Browns Q.B. Colt McCoy Can Be Winner with Video
The Cleveland Browns quarterback Colt McCoy definitely has the proper brain code to be a Winner for the Cleveland Browns.

Quarterback controversy is just “Business as Usual” for the Cleveland Browns.
Does anyone remember the good old days? Back when there were years in which from one season to the next you knew who the Browns quarterback was going to be. And regardless of who the team drafted or signed, there was no doubt of who “the man” was when the season started. For the Browns those times are gone. It has become abundantly apparent that a quarterback controversy has...
Durk Weekly: Think Logically Cleveland Browns Fans
Normally people start off columns with some witty phrase or motto when trying to defend their backing of a player. I figured this is my first post, I need to point it out that I am probably the last sane Browns fan left. I see things "big picture." That's not being cocky, that's just being the realist I am. So hopefully you like my writing, because I'm not...
Cleveland Browns tight end goes on the offensive, Evan Moore vs. Robert D. Cobb
